PEPFAR's annual planning process is done either at the country (COP) or regional level (ROP).
PEPFAR's programs are implemented through implementing partners who apply for funding based on PEPFAR's published Requests for Applications.
Since 2010, PEPFAR COPs have grouped implementing partners according to an organizational type. We have retroactively applied these classifications to earlier years in the database as well.
Also called "Strategic Areas", these are general areas of HIV programming. Each program area has several corresponding budget codes.
Specific areas of HIV programming. Budget Codes are the lowest level of spending data available.
Expenditure Program Areas track general areas of PEPFAR expenditure.
Expenditure Sub-Program Areas track more specific PEPFAR expenditures.
Object classes provide highly specific ways that implementing partners are spending PEPFAR funds on programming.
Cross-cutting attributions are areas of PEPFAR programming that contribute across several program areas. They contain limited indicative information related to aspects such as human resources, health infrastructure, or key populations programming. However, they represent only a small proportion of the total funds that PEPFAR allocates through the COP process. Additionally, they have changed significantly over the years. As such, analysis and interpretation of these data should be approached carefully. Learn more
Beneficiary Expenditure data identify how PEPFAR programming is targeted at reaching different populations.
Sub-Beneficiary Expenditure data highlight more specific populations targeted for HIV prevention and treatment interventions.
PEPFAR sets targets using the Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting (MER) System - documentation for which can be found on PEPFAR's website at https://www.pepfar.gov/reports/guidance/. As with most data on this website, the targets here have been extracted from the COP documents. Targets are for the fiscal year following each COP year, such that selecting 2016 will access targets for FY2017. This feature is currently experimental and should be used for exploratory purposes only at present.

09.P.AB01: Makgabaneng-Radio Serial Drama
ACTIVITY HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:
The Radio Serial Drama has been refocused to target five behavioral outcomes with the five main
transitional characters. A baseline evaluation is planned for early 2009 on three of the five outcomes and a
summative evaluation is planned for 2011 when the Cooperative Agreement ends.
The Reinforcement Activities will also concentrate on these five behavioral outcomes with the Teen
Magazine topics focusing on one outcome for the entire school year. The Listening and Discussion Groups'
materials are also being updated to reflect the five behavioral outcomes.
Specific changes include:
1. Six villages have been added for the Listening and Discussion Groups' interventions.
2. Six Junior Secondary Schools have been added for in-school reinforcement interventions.
3. The number of health fairs will increase from four held in 2008 to six for 2009.
4. The number of weekly broadcasts of the Makgabaneng late night talk shows will increase from 32 held in
2008 to 47 for 2009.
5. Schools that request the Makgabaneng drama episodes on CDs, as has happened during focus groups
discussions, will receive them, so as to be able to schedule their listening sessions independently. Thus far,
two schools have done so.
The specific technical assistance needed in order to do the above-mentioned changes includes:
1. Capacity building in data management.
2. Technical monitoring and evaluation support for the project with a focus on evaluation.
3. Outside consultant engaged to assist in enhancement of the community outreach component of the
project.
4. Leadership and supervisory skills training for senior management.
From COP08:
Makgabaneng is a local organization that has carried out a behavior change program of the same name
since 2001. The program includes a national radio serial drama and various community-based and mass
media reinforcement activities. In a national 2005 survey (Population Services International TRAC survey)
of 15-24 year olds, 42% reported listening to the drama many times recently and 31% reported listening
sometimes; 90% were aware of the program. Other surveys suggest high listenership among older age
groups too. In the third quarter of 2007, Makgabaneng and its sub partners had formed 45 listening and
discussion groups with adults and out of school youth, held school rallies in 9 schools, and distributed their
teen magazine on the theme of parent-child communication to 17 junior secondary and senior secondary
schools in their 2 target districts, Tutume and Ghanzi. Makgabaneng also soon will train facilitators from the
Botswana Defense Force (BDF) in the listening and discussion group activity.
The radio serial drama airs on two national Botswana radio stations, with two new 15-minute episodes each
aired twice a week, with over 650 episodes aired to date. The program will add 2-3 short spin-off, short-term
radio dramas annually, which will be aired at different time slots but simultaneously with the core drama.
These spin-off dramas will use characters from the core drama to go into greater depth on key issues, such
as multiple concurrent partners. The program will design the format and content of these shorter radio
dramas to increase their appeal to men, who studies show are less likely to be listeners to Makgabaneng
than women. In 2008, the program will highlight issues related to 1) multiple, concurrent partnerships; 2)
care, support, and prevention for PLWHA; 3) delayed sexual debut and sexual and reproductive health
among adolescents and younger youth, including cross-generational sex; and 4) alcohol abuse.
To reinforce these mass media interventions, Makgabaneng will continue to conduct community-based
outreach in community junior and senior secondary schools and the community at large. The school-based
components include an interactive magazine for use in and out of the classroom and drama competitions.
In 2008, a small group activity tool kit that will complement the themes in the MOE's new life skills materials.
The BNYC is the sub partner carrying out these school-based activities. The other main community
outreach reinforcement activity is listening and discussion groups, which Humana People to People will
continue to carry out for the project. These groups involved six 1-2 hour sessions focused on discussing
and personalizing critical issues that the drama raises. The groups have been formed in a variety of
settings, including workplace, households, churches, and health care settings, depending on the community
involved, and include 10-25 men and women. These community reinforcement activities currently reach
two districts, Ghanzi and Tutume. Makgabaneng will expand these interventions to one additional district, to
be determined, and seek at least 1 additional national partner who can incorporate some of the program
reinforcement tools into their existing activities (e.g. listening and discussion groups training materials,
discussion guides, support material; the teen magazine). They plan to continue expanding the collaboration
with other Men's Sector agencies, such as the Prison's, Police, and other uniformed services.
The program will continue conducting additional reinforcement through mass media channels, specifically
through: 1) hosting weekly radio call-in shows to discuss characters, events, and themes in the drama with
the general public and 2) airing approximately 10 trailers and epilogues, which are short messages and
calls to action related to events in the drama.
In 2008, a more intensive program evaluation will take place. Makgabaneng currently plans to carry out
another large scale listenership survey, which will assess listenership and exposure to reinforcement
activities, as well as various key outcomes of the intervention, in order to allow tests of associations
between various levels of exposure to the intervention and those outcomes.
The funding for this activity is split between AB and C/OP. This activity is a comprehensive intervention that
targets multiple issues related to HIV prevention and targets various populations in its activities, including
youth and adults. This program area entry for this activity will cover about 66% of the program effort and
Activity Narrative: reflects the intervention's focus on key issues related to abstinence and being faithful, including delayed
debut for adolescents; cross-generational sex; faithfulness; partner reduction; transactional sex; and related
gender and cultural norms and beliefs.

Activity Narrative: targets multiple issues related to HIV prevention and targets various populations in its activities, including
youth and adults. This program area entry for this activity will cover about 33% of the program effort and
reflects that part of the intervention focused on key issues related to condoms and other prevention,
including correct and consistent condom use, alcohol misuse, STIs, and other service promotion such as
VCT, antiretroviral therapy (ART) etc.
